The I,ar AZ Savannah.

Better than the parks and drives OF
Savannah liked the place they call the
bay. If commerce had not claimed this
spot fashion must have been eager for
such q place TO drive or walk in. The
esplanade Is wide, and, though there is
always life and certain busy air there,
there are times when you need not be
jostled, and can look at your leisure across
the river at the country beyond, which
has the appearance Of q picture spread out
for your benefit. It seems to be great
praise to say of landscape that it looks
like a picture. From this bluff, which IS
forty or fifty feet high, the country Of
woods is peculiarly attractive, lying be-
yond the water, with an ArCadian calm
contrasting sharply with the busy life
about you. Perhaps il is the absolute
contrast which makes the scene SO strik-
ing. You are in the very midst of ware
houses, of buying and selling, and the din
Of a large city; there, seeming but
hands breath away, is the solitude Of the
woods and fields. You can almost see the
rabbit starting away from the cOpse. and
escaping through the long grass; You can
smell the woodland scents. When / think
OF Savannah l shall always think first Of
the bay. The tail warehouses below the
bluff and close against it, with feet in the
river, add a striking feature to the place;
It is over their roofs that you look off at
the sylvan beauty beyond the stream. -

sin this way, said the colonel, Il soon
became a conspicuous figure to newspaper
readers, until l was probably the best adj
vcrtised man in the country. The things
that appeared about me were usually
written by journalists who were well ac-
qu0mJed with me, but once in - while
they would overstep the mark and put
ridiculous things in my mouth-words
that | had never uttered. Knowing
point, and still make it q point, never 70
deny what IS credited to me in newspa-
pers. Now IL has got so far that the av-
erage editor seems to think that anything
that is written about me will be read, and
reporters, knowing this, write about me
when they can't write of anything else.
II they have an interesting but ridiculous
story and see no excuse TO publish it, they
simply put il III my mouth so that L am

harsh things about me, and he IS Charles

HONOLULU HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1887.
IN A Sun CLUSTER.
LIFE IN CONSTELLATION HERCULES
A NEVER ENDING DAY.

story Which the Far Seeing Astron-
omer Reads la the stars--A Land of
Perpetual Daylight-rhe Light Of
Fifteen Moons.
In the constellation Hercules there Is "a
compact star cluster well known 10 the
owners Of powerful telescopes as one of
the most interesting and wonderful
phenomena 10 be found in the heavens
To the naked eye IL looks like q FAINT STAR
In the telescope it appears as u spherical
mass of stars, with short, struggling
streams, also composed Of stars, radiat:ug
from it, William Herschel computed The
number Of stars in this cluster ut not less
than $4,000 In the center they appear
so compressed that 1t is impossible to
count them. OF course every one of the
members of this starry swarm is u sun,
and astronomers have sometimes piaued
their imagination by wondering what
must be the condition of things prevailing
IN such Il system Of suns, and what results
flow from the inevitable laws of gravita-
ton there Could inhabited worlds exist
fin a sun clusters
Take the bright star Sirius, the most
brilliant fixed star in the heavens Any
one who wishes can see it in the southern
heavens early in the evening at this sea
son. Various estimates of the light of
Sirius have made IL from one twenty
Observation-Disclosures up to about one five
thousand millionth of the SUMS light
Suppose we adopt the latter figure as be-
ing the most favorable to Sirius. Then
comparing this with the fraction repre-
senting the light OF q star in Hercules as
seen from its nearest nelghbors in COM
parisOn with that Of the sun, namely, one
three million six hundred thousandth, we
ind that the light OF the star IS nearly
/, 400 times as great as the light that Sir
Jus sends 70 US. In other words, If we
could visit the cluster in Hercules, we
should find that its stars, rs seen from a
distance of 0,O0O 900, 900 miles, their aver
age distance apart, would shine 400
Citnes as bright as Sirius shines IN our
sky.
Sirius IS probably 500 times as bright as
the faintesU star that the naked eye per-
oeiyes on a clear night. Then imagine
star three times as much brighter than
Sirius as Sirius is brighter than the
smallest star you can see, and you viii
have some notion Of the brilliancy OF the
stars in question as seen from one an
other.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1887-08-10
EQCAL ID FIFTEEN MOONS.

Since each of she stars in the cluster
has 400 times the light Of Sirius, at o.
900, 600, 600 miles distance, and there are u
dozen Of them within that distance of the
center, it follows that these dozen stars
viii shed above twice as much light upon
a world in the center Of the cluster Us the
full moon sends TO Us. And since rhe
light received from O body varies fnverseIy
as the square Of its distance, while the
number Of suCn bodies arranged in the
roughly spherical way we have supposed
would increase directly as the square OF
their distance from the center it is clear
that the amount of Light received from the
whole cluster would be as many times the
amount received from the twelve stars
nearest the center, as the radius Of the
cluster exceeds Zoo 000 900 miles This
would be about fifteen times. and so she
total amount Of light shed upon the
center would be fifteen times the amount
shed from the first twelve stars, or about
thirty times the amount that the full
moon poUrs upon the earth But only
half the stars Of the cluster would be
above the horizon az once, and so the ulu-
mination of the night sky on our imagfn-
airy world would be fifteen times as bright
as the light Of the full moon upon the
earth.
The number Of stars visible To as with
the unaided eye on clear night Is not
over 3, 900, and the great majority Of these
are so faint that they require some atteu-
ZION 70 be seen at ali. How contemplate,
then, IS the starry armament presented to
Us in comparison with the glorious
heavens IN this sun cluster Of Hercules,
where more than twice as many stars as
we can see blaze nightly with a radiance
so brilliant that the faiutest Of them are
six times as bright as the greatest star IN
our sky-%ew York Sun

A PERPETUAL DAYLIGHT.

Now let rs suppose a world revolving
around star situated Mt the center of the
cluster. Assuming that the surrounding
stars are arranged ia q pretty symmetrical
way, there would be q dozen of them
within distance of 5000 600, 600 miles,
and each of these would, as seen from tina
world at the center, appear !, 400 timez
brighter than Sirius appears TO US. There
would be upward Of htty stars twice as
far away, each Of which would be 800
times as bright as Sirius. Thus the stars
OF the cluster. as seen from the center,
would go on increasing in number and di
uinishing in brightness, but as the total
number is limited &c $4,000 or Is, 600 the
outermost stars would be approximately
l35, OO0, 600, 600 miles away, and each
would shine six times as bright as Sirius.
1t is apparent that there would be q
sort Of perpetual daylight at the Benter Of
such q congregation of suns. Let US sec
about how bright this kght would be. or
course our supposititious planet might re-
ceive from the sun to which it belonged as
brilliant a daylight as our sun gives to
Us, but what would be the illumination OF
its nights, or, in other words, of that side
Of it which was turned away from its
sun? ZOIlner has estimated the light of
the sun TO be SIS, 600 times as great as
that Of the full moon. This, upon she esti-
mate Of the amount of Sirius light as
compared with the SUMS that we have
adopted, would give, the moon about s, ZOO
tim es as much light as Sirius

Teachers Salaries.

A subject Of very frequent discussion in
every school district is thai of teachers sala-
ries. and there is scarcely newspaper in
Pennsylvania that has not expressed the
opinion that the teachers are paid salaries
absolutely niggardly when compared with
the important work they have to do. 1t is
time tina; people everywhere become more
alive to the vital importance of having the
best talent for the trimming of their children
and that they be willing TO pay well for the
service. Here Is an idea concerning the
State appropriation A number Of leading
citizens of the town Of West Chester, in this
State. have publicly approved the suggestion
that Chester couniy's share in the increase
of the State appropriation TO public schools
be added TO the salaries Of the teachers. The
Pittsburgh Times takes mp the subject. and
adds As they average only s35.23a month
every sensible person should be expected to
Join the approval. What kind of education
must that BE- which is furnished by teachers
paid the wages OF farm hands? Niggarili-
ness in the schools is not only mean, but
foolish and wasteful. Ii is hiring bungler
to spoil work. and not only work, but mind,
and perhaps character As class. none so
well deserve what they earn as the well paid
teachers-'

A New Law.

Among the bills passed at the last session
of the Legislature Is one radically changing
the present practice and method of procedure

whether under contract OF for breach of con-
tract, or for work done or materials furnish
ed, the plaintiff by serving with the sum
mons statement of his claim showing the
amount due, viii be entitled TO judgement at
the end Of fifteen days unless an affidavit
shall have been filed by the defendant dur
ing that time setting forth fully the nature
and character of his defense
1t behooves the layman to make note of
this. as in case he does not comply with the
provisions of the act he is liable TO have
judgement entered against him by default
after fifteen days The new act will un-
doubtedly occasion some hariships of this
kind until its provisions become more gen.
orally known. but on the other hand il does
away with much thai is cumbersome and
technical in the practice of the law. and will
greatly speed the disposition of fcauses.- Phil

Select Excursions to the Seashore
via Pennsylvania Railroad

Pursuing the policy of the last few years.
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
this summer run a series of select excursions
from Pittsburgh andpoints in Western Penn
sylvania to Atlantic City, Cape May, and
Sea Isle City These trips have in past sea-
sons been highly favored by the residents of
this section, as well on account of the popu-
larity of tiie points in question as of the lib
eral rates and superior accommodations of
fered by the Company. All their popular
features will be maintained this summer,
and they will without doubt increase in ia
vor with our people.
The seashore points covered by the excur-
sions are the most popular as well as the
most desirable resorts on the Atlantic coast.
No such bathing, yachting, boating or fish
ing exists in any other localities nor does
any other point or number ofpoints afford rs
great u profusion of maritime pleasures.
The dates fixed for the excursions are July
14th and 18th, August 1lth and 18th. A
special train will leave Pittsburgh at $50 "a.
M. arriving in Philadelphia at $50 p. m.
Excursionists spend the night in Phiadel-
phia. and proceed to the shore by any regu-
lar train of the succeeding morning. The ex-
cursion tickets, good for ten days, will be
sold as heretofore at 5000.
No other trip promises 50 much for the
money, and none will be found 50 fruitful in
health, recreation and pleasure.

A Gard of Thanks.

DEAR EpIToR II hereby take pleasure in
returning our sincere and heartfelt thanks 10
the members of the Evangelical Lutheran
congregation at Lambertsville, who at the
hour of their Sabbath-school, on the 18th OF
June, after an able presentation address by
Jairus Lambert, presented TO the pastor, on
behalf of the congregation, large and most
elegant Bible, together with a HymDal, or
Book of Worship. This gift is not only APP
preciated by us ON account of its inherent
usefulness and value, but also as a tangible
expression of their appreciation of our pres
ence and labor among them. We would also
say to all our people of the different congre-
cations in the Hooverville charge, that they
have come to our help, and given US many
good things since the recent food. They
have by their generosity shown to the
world that they understand the heaven-born
sentiment that il is more blessed to give
than te receive.
May the God of Heaven abundantly bless
them may these hills and valleys produce
an exceeding abundance of the fruits
of the earth that they may be recompens-
ed in temporal blessings, and may they at
last receive the Masters approval, lnas-
much as We did il unto one of the least of
these my servants, We did it unto me.

little more than a year, having come here
from Somerset county, and must say that
like il first-rate.
Farmers are all busy with their corn al
present and the prospects for a large crop
are good Small grain don't look soencour-
aging on account of not having sufficient
rain in the spring, but good rain several
weeks ago made ii look fine Corn is grow
ing wonderfully You can almost see il
shoot up.
The railroads are hauling off large
amount of grain for the June market. Corn
is selling at % cents per bushel.
Our town is experiencing quite boom
this summer. The main line of the North
western Railroad to Denver, Colorado, is un-
der headway it passes through our county
seat David City. We have two other roads
beside the one in course of construction. 50
we don't lack for railway facilities. our
town of Rising City is going to erect school
house this summer, which would do honor
to town twice its size. Our public school,
will close in about week for the summer
vacation.
The native prairie sod is being turned
under lively this season, and being utilized
by the farmers for fax, and other purposes
